Paper Abstract

The thermal radiation from the weld-pool is measured at two wavelengths through the laser delivery fiber between Nd:YAG laser pulses. The chromatic aberration of delivery optics has been optimized to detect the variation of weld bead width. The design of optics and the signal processing algorithm for optical monitoring is described. Furthermore, the applications of optical monitoring to the detection of power variation and focus shift are shown.
